Israel was
tonight under pressure to allow an independent inquiry into its assault
on the Gaza aid flotilla after autopsy results on the bodies of those
killed, obtained by the Guardian, revealed they were peppered with 9mm
bullets, many fired at close range.

The results revealed
that a 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bilgen,

was shot four times in the temple, chest, hip and
back.

The findings emerged as more survivors gave their
accounts of the raids. Ismail Patel, the chairman of
Leicester-based pro-Palestinian group Friends of al-Aqsa, who returned
to Britain today, told how he witnessed some of the fatal shootings and
claimed that Israel had operated a "shoot to kill policy".

Kutlu Tiryaki was a captain of another vessel
in the flotilla. "We continuously told them we did not have weapons, we
came here to bring humanitarian help and not to fight," he said.

one of the ships of the Gaza-bound Flotilla raided by Israel Monday.

Grigoropoulos, who insisted the ship was full
of humanitarian aid bound for Gaza "and nothing more", said that, once
detained, the human rights activists were not allowed to contact a
lawyer or the Greek embassy in Tel Aviv.

Grigoropoulos added: "They didn't let us go to
the toilet, eat or drink water and throughout they videoed us. They
confiscated everything, mobile phones, laptops, cameras and personal
effects. They only allowed us to keep our papers."

The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution setting up
an independent fact-finding mission to investigate the incident. The
resolution condemned what it called the "outrageous attack" on the
flotilla and called for the lifting of the blockade on Gaza.

Think not of those who are killed in the Way of
Allâh as dead.

Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have
provision.They rejoice in what Allâh has bestowed upon them of His
Bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them,
but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come,
nor shall they grieve.They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allâh,
and that Allâh will not waste the reward of the believers.
